I am totally into the metal frame purses right now! I did mention that I have ordered some more metal purse frames from Cottontouch on Etsy, but it will be at least 2 weeks (!) before these arrive in the post from Hong Kong. So I decided last night to search through my clothing cupboard and see if I can thrift some frames from old purses.

This is what I found to my utmost surprize! Some of these bags I do not even remember but one thing is certain - I cannot possibly cut up any of these bags! The gold bag on the left with a chain handle and the pink clutch in the middle were free gifts with the local Glamour magazine. The black bag at the botton is exquisite. It is made from velvet with embroidery and beads on it and has a stunning vintage frame. This was a birthday gift from my husband a few years ago. Love it! The little gold sequins bag on the right I have absolutely no idea where and when I bought it! It still has a price tag on it - R20 (about $2)! So, if I were to do any thrifting I would have to go visit the shops and look for bargains!
